FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION 

16 CFR Part 310 

RIN 3084–AA98 

Telemarketing Sales Rule Fees 

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Trade 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) is 

amending its Telemarketing Sales Rule 

(‘‘TSR’’) by updating the fees charged to 

entities accessing the National Do Not 

Call Registry (‘‘Registry’’) as required by 

the Do-Not-Call Registry Fee Extension 

Act of 2007. 

DATES: This final rule is effective 

October 1, 2023. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of this document are 

available on the internet at the 

Commission’s website: https://

www.ftc.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ami 

Joy Dziekan (202) 326–2648, Bureau of 

Consumer Protection, Federal Trade 

Commission, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue 

NW, Room CC–9225, Washington, DC 

20580. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: To comply 

with the Do-Not-Call Registry Fee 

Extension Act of 2007 (15 U.S.C. 6152) 

(the ‘‘Act’’), the Commission is 

amending the TSR, which is contained 

in 16 CFR part 310, by updating the fees 

entities are charged for accessing the 

Registry. Specifically, the revised rule 

increases (1) the annual fee for access to 

the Registry for each area code of data 

from $75 to $78 per area code, and (2) 

the maximum amount that will be 

charged to any single entity for 

accessing area codes of data from 

$20,740 to $21,402. Entities may add 

area codes during the second six months 

of their annual subscription period, and 

the fee for those additional area codes 

increases from $38 to $39. 

These increases are in accordance 

with the Act, which specifies that 

beginning after fiscal year 2009, the 

dollar amounts charged shall be 

increased by an amount equal to the 

amounts specified in the Act, multiplied 

by the percentage (if any) by which the 

average of the monthly consumer price 

index (for all urban consumers 

published by the Department of Labor) 

(‘‘CPI’’) for the most recently ended 12- 

month period ending on June 30 

exceeds the CPI for the 12-month period 

ending June 30, 2008. The Act also 

states any increase shall be rounded to 

the nearest dollar and there shall be no 

increase in the dollar amounts if the 

change in the CPI since the last fee 

increase is less than one percent. For 

fiscal year 2009, the Act specified that 

the original annual fee for access to the 

Registry for each area code of data was 

$54 per area code, or $27 per area code 

of data during the second six months of 

an entity’s annual subscription period, 

and that the maximum amount that 

would be charged to any single entity 

for accessing area codes of data would 

be $14,850. 

The determination of whether a fee 

change is required and the amount of 

the fee changes involves a two-step 

process. First, to determine whether a 

fee change is required, we measure the 

change in the CPI from the time of the 

previous increase in fees. There was an 

increase in the fees for fiscal year 2023. 

Accordingly, we calculated the change 

in the CPI since last year, and the 

increase was 3.0 percent. Because this 

change is over the one percent 

threshold, the fees will change for fiscal 

year 2024. 

Second, to determine how much the 

fees should increase this fiscal year, we 

use the calculation specified by the Act 

set forth above: the percentage change in 

the baseline CPI applied to the original 

fees for fiscal year 2009. The average 

value of the CPI for July 1, 2007, to June 

30, 2008, was 211.702; the average value 

for July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023, was 

305.109, an increase of 44.12 percent. 

Applying the 44.12 percent increase to 

the base amount from fiscal year 2009, 

leads to a $78 fee for access to a single 

area code of data for a full year for fiscal 

year 2024, an increase of $3 from last 

year. The actual amount is $77.83 but 

when rounded, pursuant to the Act, $78 

is the appropriate fee. The fee for 

accessing an additional area code for a 

half year increases by one dollar to $39 

(rounded from $38.91). The maximum 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
57334 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 162 / Wednesday, August 23, 2023 / Rules and Regulations 

amount charged increases to $21,402 

(rounded from $21,402.11). 

Administrative Procedure Act; 

Regulatory Flexibility Act; Paperwork 

Reduction Act. Under the 

Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 

553(b)), an agency may waive the 

normal notice and comment 

requirements if it finds, for good cause, 

that they are impracticable, 

unnecessary, or contrary to the public 

interest. The fee adjustments set forth in 

this final rule are mandated by the DoNot-Call Registry Fee Extension Act of 

2007. Accordingly, the amendments to 

the TSR are merely technical in nature, 

making notice and comment 

unnecessary and contrary to the public 

interest. See 5 U.S.C. 553(b). For this 

reason, the requirements of the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act also do not 

apply. See 5 U.S.C. 603, 604. 

Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction 

Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3521, the Office of 

Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) 

approved the information collection 

requirements in the TSR and assigned 

the following existing OMB Control 

Number: 3084–0169. The amendments 

outlined in this final rule pertain only 

to the fee provision (§ 310.8) of the TSR 

and will not establish or alter any record 

keeping, reporting, or third-party 

disclosure requirements elsewhere in 

the TSR.

Accordingly, the Federal Trade 

Commission amends part 310 of title 16 

of the Code of Federal Regulations as 

follows: 

PART 310—TELEMARKETING SALES 

RULE 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 310 

continues to read as follows:

§ 310.8 [Amended] 

■ 2. In § 310.8: 

■ a. Amend paragraph (c) by: 

■ i. Removing ‘‘$75’’ and adding ‘‘$78’’ 

in its place; and 

■ ii. Removing ‘‘$20,740’’ and adding 

‘‘$21,402’’ in its place; 

■ b. Amend paragraph (d) by: 

■ i. Removing ‘‘$75’’ and adding ‘‘$78’’ 

in its place; and 

■ ii. Removing ‘‘$38’’ and adding ‘‘$39’’ 

in its place. 

By direction of the Commission.

Revisions 

AGENCY: Bureau of Safety and 

Environmental Enforcement, Interior. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Department of the 

Interior (DOI or Department), through 

the Bureau of Safety and Environmental 

Enforcement (BSEE), is revising certain 

regulatory provisions published in the 

2019 final well control rule for drilling, 

workover, completion, and 

decommissioning operations. BSEE is 

finalizing these revisions to clarify 

blowout preventer (BOP) system 

requirements and to modify certain 

specific BOP equipment capability 

requirements. This final rule will 

provide consistency and clarity to 

industry regarding the BOP equipment 

and associated operational requirements 

necessary for BSEE review and approval 

and will further ensure operations are 

conducted safely and in an 

environmentally responsible manner. 

DATES: This final rule is effective on 

October 23, 2023. However, BSEE will 

defer the compliance date for the 

Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) 

intervention open functionality 

provision at 30 CFR 250.734(a)(4) until 

August 22, 2024. The Director of the 

Federal Register approved the 

incorporation by reference of certain 

publications listed in this final rule as 

of July 15, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Executive Summary 

This final rule revises certain 

regulatory provisions that were 

published in the 2019 final rule entitled, 

‘‘Oil and Gas and Sulfur Operations in 

the Outer Continental Shelf–Blowout 

Preventer Systems and Well Control 

Revisions,’’ 84 FR 21908 (May 15, 2019) 

(2019 WCR). On January 20, 2021, the 

President issued Executive Order (E.O.) 

13990 (Protecting Public Health and the 

Environment and Restoring Science to 

Tackle the Climate Crisis). The 

accompanying ‘‘President’s Fact Sheet: 

List of Agency Actions for Review’’ 

included the 2019 WCR on a list of rules 

the President instructed DOI to review 

for potential revisions to promote and 

protect public health and the 

environment, among other policy goals 

identified in the E.O. This review 

confirmed that the 2019 WCR contains 

many provisions that help ensure that 

federally regulated outer Continental 

Shelf (OCS) oil and gas operations are 

conducted safely and in an 

environmentally responsible manner. 

Therefore, this final rule addresses only 

select provisions that, consistent with 

and as authorized by the Outer 

Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA), 

will further promote the objectives of 

E.O. 13990. At this time, BSEE is 

finalizing narrowly focused revisions to 

improve operations that use a BOP, 

certain BOP capabilities and 

functionalities, and BSEE oversight of 

such operations. The final rule: 

• Clarifies the general BOP system 

expectations, 

• Modifies the timeframes for 

commencing a failure analysis, 

• Requires submission of 

independent third-party qualifications, 

• Establishes dual shear ram 

requirements for surface BOPs on 

existing floating production facilities 

when an operator replaces an entire 

surface BOP stack, 

• Requires Remotely Operated 

Vehicle (ROV) open functions on subsea 

BOPs, and 

• Requires submittal of certain BOP 

test results if BSEE is unable to witness 

the testing. 

BSEE will continue to evaluate the 

effectiveness of the 2019 WCR and all 

BSEE regulations for any necessary and 

appropriate rulemakings in the future.
